The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully tested a 100W class PEM hydrogen fuel cell power system in its orbital platform onboard the PSLV-C58 vehicle, launched on Monday (January 1).
PSLV-C58 launched the XPOSAT Satellite into low inclination orbit to carry out research in space-based polarisation measurements of X-ray emissions from celestial sources.
Onboard, the PEM fuel cell was shortly tested in the POEM3 orbital platform, producing 180W of power from hydrogen and oxygen.
